Sinopsis

1976 - Growing Up Bipolaráis a disturbing, but darkly humorous and life-affirming mental health memoir by Mark Fleming, a Scottish writer and musician.áDiagnosed with bipolar disorder in his 20s, Fleming takes the reader into bipolarâÇÖs depths of depression and unnatural highs of mania, and is candid about his experiences of locked psych wards, the debilitating side-effects of anti-psychotic drugs, and the terrifying places his deluded mind took him to.Much of the bookâÇÖs timescale overlaps with Grant McPheeâÇÖs award-winning documentary,áBig Gold Dream: The Sound of Young Scotland 1977-1985. 1976 - Growing Up Bipolaráalso celebratesáScotlandâÇÖs electrifying indie and post-punk music and cultural scenes, with anecdotes about gigging, songwriting, recording sessions at BBCâÇÖs Maida Vale studios, and teenage obsessions with sex, drugs, and rock âÇÖnâÇÖ roll. The cathartic impact of John PeelâÇÖs BBC Radio 1 show and a long-time devotion to Manchester post-punk legends The Fall figure prominently.Delving deep into theápsyche of a chemically-imbalanced mind, he relives a tragic event during the 1976 heatwave that inflicted the mental injury that might have triggered his bipolar disorder.
